Abstract

Olefin polymers and copolymers having controlled morphology are prepared by bulk or slurry polymerization using metallocene catalysts in the presence of an alumoxane cocatalyst. Prepolymerization at a temperature of -10.degree. C. to +35.degree. C. during 1.5 to 3.5 minutes is immediately followed by polymerization at 55.degree.-70.degree. C. The fluff has a narrow grain size distribution, a smooth surface and a high bulk density.
